Live from Jonesboro, AR, Impact Wrestling kicks off with highlights from last week and then a shot of the great looking crowd.

Jeff Hardy’s music hits and the #1 Contender makes his way down to the ring to a massive ovation. Hardy says that last week he wasn’t 100% and he’s still not, but he’s better and he tested himself against 3 of the top wrestlers in TNA. He says it’s Open Fight Night and he’s got to call someone out tonight, but before he can say anything else Bully Ray walks through the crowd mocking Hardy. Aces & Eights are accompanying Ray out to the ring.

Ray says that everyone in the arena needs to sit down and shut their mouths. Boos cascade down on top of Ray as he tries to talk. He says that he’s sick and tired of hearing Jeff Hardy’s voice and listening to him bitch and moan all the time. Ray asks the crowd if they know who they are and he’s gets a response of boos followed by a “you suck” chant. Ray says that they are the Aces & Eights and he asks Jeff if he was getting ready to call him out. Ray reminds Jeff that their title rematch isn’t for another 2 weeks in Corpus Christi, TX and says he wouldn’t want to see Jeff get hurt again in front of his “moron creatures of the night” before that match. Ray hands Mr. Anderson the microphone and Anderson asks Ray if Jeff is really getting “another second chance.” Anderson says Hardy get’s 2nd chance after 3rd chance after 75th chance and then asks if Ray remembers all the free passes he and Bully got, but reminds Jeff that it never happened to them because they don’t need free passes. Anderson says as long as Hardy isn’t burning down any more buildings and keeps selling merchandise the rules don’t apply to him. Anderson says that Hardy is a giant disappointment and in Corpus Christi he’ll be a disappointment yet again. Hardy then attacks Hardy but he gets destroyed by the rest of Aces & Eights fairly quickly. Bully Ray gets ready to hit Hardy with a chain but then Kurt Angle, Magnus, Samoa Joe, & Eric Young storm the ring and chase Aces & Eights off!

Ray tells them to retreat but Hardy says he’s calling Anderson out tonight! Ray tells Hardy that he won’t make it to Corpus Christi.

Footage of the Tag Titles Match last week with Bad Influence’s attack on Dirty Heels is shown. Backstage Chavo & Hernandez talk about the match last week and Chavo reminds him that it’s Open Fight Night and they’ll take care of “those clowns” (Bad Influence).

Chavo & Hernandez make their way down to the ring and they’re dressed to fight.

----COMMERCIAL BREAK----

Back from the break Chavo says last week he & Hernandez were robbed and cheated out of the Tag Titles, but this time it was by Bad Influence instead of Roode & Aries. He says tonight is all about payback because it’s Open Fight Night. He says that they’ve talked to Hulk Hogan and he added a stipulation to the match they’re about to have, the winners are the new #1 Contenders to the Tag Team Titles! Chavo asks the fans if they’re ready and then calls Bad Influence out.

Both of these teams are former Tag Team Champions and last week Bad Influence cost Hernandez & Chavo the tag titles. Bad Influence are wearing new “Bad Influence The Movie” t-shirts. Kaz and Chavo lockup and Kaz forces Chavito into the corner and then swings at him, but Chavo ducks and catches Kaz with a Hip Toss and then an armdrag. Chavo tags Hernandez in and then hits a Scoop Slam on Kaz followed by Hernandez Slamming Chavo on top of Kaz as well. Hernandez follows up with a Splash as Todd talks about Dixie Carter’s announcement last week on Twitter of the Ray-Hardy rematch in Corpus Christi. Hernandez covers Kaz and gets a nearfall, but then Kaz comes back and pokes him in the eyes and tags Daniels back in. Daniels charges at Hernandez but gets caught in a Bear Hug by the massive Mexican-American. Hernandez hit’s a Belly-to-Belly Suplex and then Chavo hits him from the outside. Hernandez tags Chavo in and then catapults Daniels into a European Uppercut from Chavo. Daniels falls back onto Hernandez’s knees and Hernandez holds him there as Chavo hits a Somersault Senton on Daniels! Daniels begs off but Chavo nails him with a series of strikes. Chavo goes for a Mexican Whip in the corner but Daniels reverses it and then charges at Chavo. Chavo backdrops Daniels over the top and when Daniels lands he falls back and hits his head on the ring steps nearby. I don’t think that was a planned bump by Daniels as he didn’t look thrilled when he landed. Chavo sets up for a dive but Kaz pulls the ropes down causing Chavo to go spilling out to the floor. Hernandez comes in but Bad Influence double team him in the ring. Bad Influence whips Hernandez hard into the corner and then Kaz charges after him, but Hernandez kicks him and then uses the ropes to flip himself over the top rope to the apron. Chavo & Daniels go at it on the other side as Hernandez hits Kaz with a Shoulder Block through the ropes. Chavo whips Daniels into a corner and then charges at him but this time Daniels backdrops him over the top. Chavo lands on the apron and nails Daniels with a Forearm Smash! Hernandez & Chavo then both dive over the top rope from the ramp with a double Super Mex Dive onto Bad Influence! Chavo goes for the Three Amigos but as he picks Daniels up for the third one, Kaz comes in and pulls Daniels down and then they slam Chavo into the turnbuckles. Daniels distracts the referee as Kaz beats on Chavo in the corner and starts working on Chavo’s arm. Daniels then hits an Armbreaker on Chavo.

----COMMERCIAL BREAK----

Kaz goes for a clothesline but Chavo ducks and catches Kaz with a Spinning Headscissors! Kaz quickly tags Daniels back in and Daniels knocks Hernandez off the apron before Chavo can tag out. Bad Influence set up for a double team spot but Chavo ducks a clothesline from Kaz causing him to clothesline Daniels! Chavo then hits a beautiful dropkick on Kaz and tags Hernandez in! Hernandez starts laying Bad Influence out with Palm Thrusts and Shoulder Blocks as the fans are really getting fired up! Hernandez whips both members of Bad Influence into a corner and then connects with a Double Splash! Hernandez tosses Kaz across the ring and then lifts Daniels up into the air and then Chavo then comes in and lifts Kaz up onto Hernandez’s other arm! Hernandez showing off his ungodly strength now! Hernandez with a Double Over the Shoulder Backbreaker on Bad Influence! Hernandez covers Daniels, 1…2…NO Daniels kicks out! Daniels retreats to the apron but Hernandez grabs him by the head to try and pull him back in. On the other side Kaz pulls Chavo off the apron and slams him into the guardrail. Hernandez attempts to Suplex Daniels into the ring but Kaz runs over and trips Hernandez up! He falls back and Daniels lands on top of him as Kaz also holds Hernandez’s feet down! 1…2...NO the referee catches Kaz and stops the count! Bad Influence now whip Hernandez into the ropes but he breaks through their double clothesline attempt and hits one of his own on both members of Bad Influence! Hernandez charges at Daniels in the corner but he gets his foot up and then stacks Hernandez up in a pin! Chavo puts his feet on the ropes for extra leverage, 1…2…NO the referee catches Bad Influence cheating again! Daniels argues with the referee and then attempts to whip Hernandez into the ropes, but he reverses it and then goes for a clothesline. Daniels ducks it and then goes for a Cross Body but Hernandez catches him in midair and lifts Daniels up to his shoulders and down with a Sitout Powerbomb! Hernandez tags Chavo in and then he climbs up top! Chavo sets up for the Frog Splash but Kazarian runs over and shoves him off! Daniels rolls Chavo up and Kaz holds onto Hernandez’s legs so he can’t get back in the ring, 1…2…NO Chavo kicks out! On the ramp Hernandez lays Kaz out with the Get Off Me sending him crashing off the rampway and into the ring post! Daniels hits Chavo with a back kick and then goes for the Angels Wings but Chavo blocks it and then Hernandez hit’s a Slingshot Clothesline over the top on Daniels! Chavo climbs back up and dives off with the Frog Splash! 1…2…3!

Winners: Chavo & Hernandez via pinfall (Frog Splash)

In the back Taryn Terrell says she has a really good idea who she’s calling out tonight.

----COMMERCIAL BREAK----

TNA takes a page (not a good page either) out of WWE’s book by doing an “Insta-Facts” thing when they come back from break with some random fact about TNA.

Footage of Brooke firing Terrell as a referee last week and signing her as a Knockout is shown.

Taryn Terrell makes her way down to the ring and let’s just say her ring gear is…interesting. I’m being very PG with that description. Terrell says this is her first official night as a Knockout and Brooke Hogan says she can get physical with anyone she wants and it’s Open Fight Night. Terrell says that there is one woman that has ridiculed her and assaulted her and it’s no secret that she’s about to call out Gail Kim!

Gail Kim comes out and she says this is her first rookie mistake and asks if she really wants to embarrass herself on national TV against the greatest Knockouts ever. She says that Terrell has rubbed other people the wrong way and that includes someone that wanted to call Terrell out herself. Tara walks out with Jesse and laughs as Gail says that Terrell thinks she can hang with them. Gail says this is more fitting for her first night and nails Terrell from behind! Tara and Gail beat the hell out of her and Gail holds Terrell as Tara kicks her repeatedly. Velvet Sky’s music hits and the Knockout Champ runs down to the ring to even the odds! Velvet hits a clothesline on both Gail & Tara and then kicks Tara through the ropes! Velvet then chases Gail off as well! Terrell & Velvet would make an interesting Beautiful People couple now that I see them next to each other.

----COMMERCIAL BREAK----

In the back Terrell attacks Gail from behind and Velvet pulls her away as Tara holds Gail back.

A Gut Check video package airs with former Gut Check wrestlers talking about it and in the back JB says that next week Gut Check returns. He announces that next week it will be “Scrap Iron” Adam Pearce vs. Magno! Yes, people I just popped! Adam Pearce is a former NWA World Heavyweight Champion and he’s a former ROH star as well as being the former Head Booker for ROH. Magno actually worked in TNA very briefly during the 2006 World X-Cup as a member of Team Mexico and has also wrestled for ROH and Lucha Libre USA. He’s a masked luchador that was trained in Mexico but is from El Paso, TX and speaks fluent English. He’s wrestled for the legendary El Hijo del Santo’s Todos x Todos promotion in Mexico in the past as well. Pearce & Magno come face to face as JB hypes the match up.

Sting attempts to get into Hulk Hogan’s office but a security guard stops him and says Hogan doesn’t want to see him and Sting freaks out.

----COMMERCIAL BREAK----

A replay of what went down with Hardy and Aces earlier is shown. Hulk Hogan talks to Jeff Hardy backstage and talks about the rematch in Corpus Christi on April 11th. Hogan says that Hardy already had a rematch coming but for him to step up and fight for it was amazing. Hogan takes the blame for Hardy losing the title at Lockdown but Hardy says everyone makes mistakes, but he doesn’t live in the past he only lives for the future and Corpus Christi in the future. Hogan says that since he handpicked Bully for Lockdown he’s going to let Hardy handpick the stipulation for Hardy-Ray II. Before Hardy can say anything else they both hear Sting’s music starts playing in the arena and Hogan says he’s not even supposed to be here tonight.

Sting comes out to the ring and he says that Bully Ray swerved him and the whole world. He says that he told Hulk that he could trust Bully Ray and he was wrong and now he needs to try and fix things, but the only way he can fix it is if he can be on the same page as Hogan. Sting says that he’s tried over and over to talk to him to no avail and since tonight is Open Fight Night he’s calling Hogan out!

Hulk’s music hits and Hogan walks out to the ring with the aid of a crutch. Hogan drops the crutch on the ramp and limps the rest of the way. Sting says that he’s tried to apologize to Hogan a few times already and he’s going to try one more time, and if he doesn’t accept it this time things could get a little “nuclear” here tonight. Hogan says that he should have listened to his gut because he knew Bully was a bad guy but he listened to others like Dixie Carter and Sting saying that Bully changed. He says it’s because of Sting that he didn’t listen to his gut and made a decision that messed up the whole company. Sting says Hogan is the one that made the decision and instead of pointing the finger and making a career out of blaming guys like Sting he has to stop because he’s the GM of TNA and he makes the ultimate decision and man up and take ownership of it! Hogan says he will be accountable for being the man that made the decision and now as the GM he’s tired of hearing the crap about his decision and he’s tired of Sting. He tells Sting as the GM to get the hell out of his ring right now.

Sting starts to leave but then stops and gets in Hogan’s face and tells him to make him! Hogan rips his shirt off and dares Sting to touch him but security runs out and gets between them. Hogan tells Sting that this isn’t over between them as security escorts Sting out.

----COMMERCIAL BREAK----

During the break security escorted Sting out of the building as Matt Morgan applauds and says yet another Hulk Hogan mistake.

Todd & Tenay talk about the AJ Styles situation and then a video package highlighting everything with him is shown.

James Storm’s music hits and the cowboy looks like he’s ready for a fight tonight. Storm says 2 weeks ago AJ Styles made his big return but it wasn’t the return he was looking for. He says that last week he tried to talk to AJ Styles but he just simply walked away, and since tonight is Open Fight Night he thought he would take the time to call AJ Styles out! AJ Styles appears in the crowd and Storm finally notices him. He says that he knows what AJ is going through and what he has in his head because he went through the same thing last year. He says that he lost the big match and went home, but he picked himself back up and got back in the ring and did what he does best. He says that’s what AJ needs to do and since AJ is a man from the south he can relate to this. He says they can handle this two ways, either they can use one hand and put a cold beer in it and talk and drink, or they can use the other hand they can close it into a fist and fight it out. Storm says he’s good with either way but the choice is AJ’s! AJ just stares at Storm and then Aces hits the ring and attacks Storm! DOC destroys Storm with a Big Boot. AJ simply walks away as Aces & Eights beat Storm out. Eric Young’s music hits and he comes out for the save but quickly gets beat down as well. Kurt Angle then hits the ring and evens the odds! The babyfaces chase Aces & Eights off but Angle stops them and says they aren’t done yet. Angle tells DOC never to turn his back on him again and to shut his mouth. He says there is 3 of them and 3 of Aces so they need to make this a 6-Man Tag right now!

Storm and Garett will start the match off and Storm lays into Garett with a series of rights. Storm then whips Garett into the ropes and Garett stumbles so Storm just punches him a bunch of times. Storm then shoves him into the ropes hard probably as a way of telling Garett to wake up and then he hit’s a Thesz Press and lays into him a series of right hands. Storm tosses Garett into the corner and nails him with a big uppercut. Storm tries to whip him into the opposite corner but Garett reverses it only for Storm to explode out of the corner with a clothesline.

EY hits the ropes but Garett takes him down with a clothesline and gets a nearfall. Garett tosses EY into the Aces corner and then tags Wes in and they double team for him a second. Brisco then slams him into another corner and hits him with a series of punches and shoulder blocks. Wes whips EY into the opposite corner but EY flips over it and lands on the apron.

Winners: Aces & Eights via pinfall (rollup)

In the back Bully Ray offers a toast to Garett, Wes, DOC, & D-Lo for that win and Ray says “you never walk alone.” Ray gets in Anderson’s ear and says he can’t believe the balls Hardy has to call Anderson out. Ray then says he can’t believe the balls on Hogan to let Hardy pick he and Ray’s stipulation for the title match in 2 weeks. Anderson then flips the hell out and says Ray doesn’t have to worry about that because Hardy won’t make it to Corpus Christ because he’s going to lose his “freakin’ mind” tonight on him. I think Anderson just pitched a full blown bitch fit.
